HPT370/372/372A Red Hat Linux Installation Guide

If you are installing Red Hat Linux 7.2, the driver is contained in a floppy diskette image

file. If you are using an Athlon CPU, the image file is rh72dd-athlon.img, otherwise, the

image file is rh72dd-i686.img.

On a DOS or Windows system, you can make the Red Hat 7.2 driver diskette using

rawrite.exe. It can be found on the Red Hat Linux CD (under /dosutils). Just run it under a

command window and follow its prompt.

On a Linux system, you can use the " dd" command to make the boot diskette. Insert a

floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the command:

for non-Athlon CPU

# dd if=rh72dd-i686.img of=/dev/fd0

for Athlon CPU

# dd if=rh72dd-athlon.img of=/dev/fd0

Step 4 Prepare the Boot Diskette (Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2 Only)

If you are installing Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2 onto hard disk attached to HPT370 or HPT372

controller, you must boot from a customized boot diskette to start installation. There is no

need of customized boot diskette for HPT372A controller.

First obtain the boot diskette image file, rh71boot.img for RedHat 7.1 or rh72boot.img for

RedHat 7.2.

On a DOS or Windows system, you can make the boot diskette using rawrite.exe. It can be

found on the Red Hat Linux CD (under /dosutils). Just run it under a command window

and follow its prompt.

On a Linux system, you can use the " dd" command to make the boot diskette. Insert a

floppy disk into the floppy drive and type the command:

RedHat 7.1

# dd if=rh71boot.img of=/dev/fd0

RedHat 7.2

# dd if=rh72boot.img of=/dev/fd0

Start installing Red Hat Linux by booting with the bootable disks or CDROM. If you

are installing Red Hat Linux 7.1/7.2 onto hard disk attached to HPT370/372 controller,

you must boot from the bootable disk provided for HPT37x driver.

On "Welcome to Red Hat Linux" installation screen, a prompted label "boot:" will

appear at the bottom of the screen. If you are installing Red Hat Linux 7.0/7.1, type in
